It's a no-grainer

[Someone in a tree]

Something fun to distract from the riots

What do you call them ? Obviously it's called breadcake

[danb]

Bap or Roll for me, although Northern me is very familiar with Barm(cake) too.

[marob]

Bap.

[crowblack]

Bun, barm, barmcake from family, bap more recently through supermarkets (NW).

[TallPaul]

Breadcake.

[blamerobots]

Rollllllll.

[Musicality21]

It's a muffin!

[mkb]

Batch. Never realised it was not universal till I went to uni.

That's when I also discovered that people will happily judge you by the way you pronounce the "u"s in Bugs Bunny.

It’s obviously a breadcake but in Manchester I have to choke out “barm” to be understood.

I was in Greggs the other week and I asked for a cream slice. She didn’t have a clue what I was talking about so I had to point at it. “Oh you mean a Bavarian” she says, accusingly.

What the frigg has Bavaria got to do with anything?

Barmcake for me. Though when I first moved over to West Yorkshire for Uni and asked for a toasted teacake and expecting something with currents in to arrive, I was a bit shocked to get a plain one instead.

I'd never heard of a Bap in my life till I moved to the UL.

In Australis, they're just bread rolls! What's so hard about that?

A teacake definitely has fruit in. Dont let anyone else tell you differently!

[TallPaul]

You'll notice there are more variations in Yorkshire than anywhere else. I have a colleague from Pontefract who calls a breadcake a scuffler. In Barnsley they call a breadcake a teacake and a teacake a current teacake, which is what you should have asked for, our david.

Crusty white rolls and soft white rolls. It's not hard, people.

Baps are bigger and flatter. Suits a burger and doings.

Empty, crap carbs though.

Lidl does those quite nice posh wholemeal rolls. Good with cheese.

[BurlyBeaR]

I don’t know how widespread it was but you used to be able to get Hovis miniature loaves to eat as a single serve bread item. They were identical to a full sized Hovis loaf, including the H O V I S branding baked in. Oh yes it was a special day when the mini hovis came out. A tin of salmon might be opened and a Bird’s Trifle whisked up.

Agree. Where are you from?!

I'm South-east but maybe it shows that I don't go many places that I haven't heard it called anything than a roll.

[theatreian]

Having lived in various parts of England my home city, Liverpool it was a barmcake. Teacakes always had currants in them aka toasted teacake.The simple term roll is most used although with the 500 types of bread you get now it can mean something quite different.

[amyja89]

Southern roll girl myself, though have slipped into bap territory when forgetting myself on occasion...

I remember the mini Hovis loaves, not seen them in years.

This really is (VW quote ahoy) my bete noire. I don’t know your specialist words Mr Gregg/person in a business. If you’d just label things properly, as per the law, we’d all know what it was. But having a jumble of useless cardboard rectangles roughly in front of your cakes helps nobody. “It is labelled” they’ll defensively whine…no, there is a label for it on display. Big difference. It may as well be next to your soup kettle for all the use it is!!!😂😂😂

[BurlyBeaR]

Same with custard slices. I asked for a custard slice, she corrects me “you mean a vanilla slice?”.
Yes love, I mean a vanilla aka custard slice. I know what I mean, you know what I mean so is it really necessary to correct me? Just dish up the cakes, it’s not school time.


*Disclaimer* I’m not in Greggs every day buying cream buns 🙂

I got down to the last 2 in a job at Greggs head office. For my waistline's sake thankfully I didn't get it!

This sounds like a conversation between McDonald's fries and regular chips that come with a burger at a pub.
